Age of Exploration & Conquest

The period from the 15th through the 18th centuries saw an unprecedented global expansion. Great empires—British, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Inca, Mughal, Ottoman, and Chinese—grew far beyond their original borders through sea voyages, land wars, and conquest. This global history course examines this Age of Exploration and Conquest, looking not only at the European settlements in the Americas, Africa, and Asia but also the changing dynamics of imperial life around the globe.
